Transcription
Steigertahl informs Sloane that he met Mr Mustapsa yesterday afternoon and he did not have a fever. He is going to the mineral waters at Pyrmont at the behest of George I, bringing ‘une provision de kinkina’. He is tasked with collecting mineral water and bringing it back with him. He sends his wife’s compliments. Johann Georg Steigertahl (1666-1740) was the personal physician to George I of England. He was a member of the Royal Society and secured the purchase of Engelbert Kaempfer’s collection of East Asian curiosities for Sir Hans Sloane in 1723 (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Georg_Steigerthal).
